Common Pleco

(Hypostomus Plecostomus)

Picture
This is one of the most commonly avalible plecos in the aquarium trade but they are still great fish. They will get quite large like most plecos and should not be kept with very small fish. They have mottled brown bodys and fins with some specimins appearing almost spotty. These fish require a spacious tank that will be able to hold them as adults with good filtration. The difference between the amount of these fish bought impulsivly compared to the amount of people who can actually accomodate an adult one is huge and there are thousands of unwanted plecos in the world that have outgrown their owners aquarium.

  Max Size: 40cm Temperature: 20-30ºc Ease of Keeping: Easy Temperament: Peaceful Compatibility: Moderate Plant Friendly: No
